Three H125 helicopters delivered to Ecocopter in Chile

Chilean firm Ecocopter ordered three H125 and one H145 helicopters from Airbus in 2022 to assist with aerial work missions.

The first three H125 helicopters have been delivered to Chile and the H145 will be added to the fleet by mid-2023, consolidating a total fleet of 21 Airbus aircraft to operate in Latin America.

The new helicopters will be used for the different types of aerial work and services provided by the company, mainly in the mining sector, energy, telecommunications, air medical transfers, offshore services for oil platforms, forest firefighting, and a wide range of other aerial missions.

In addition, they perform environmental impact studies, cargo, transport, washing of insulators in electrical towers, installation of avalanche control systems, and the study of geography, flora and fauna, among other services.

Francisco Arriagada, Ecocopter’s Commercial Manager, said: “These new high-performance helicopters represent a clear step in our strategy to consolidate our regional presence in South America, with high quality standards.

“Thus, we want to continue on the path of being a reference in high complexity aerial work missions with a genuine commitment to safety, excellence, innovation and sustainability in all our operational processes, and continue to be a permanent support for our customers.”
